Directors’ Report (continued) Segment Review The Group comprises four segments; the two operating segments being Solids and Liquids & Industrial Services, as well as Corporate and Associates. A description of the key segments and a summary of the associated segment results for the halfyear are set out below: Segment Overview The Group’s segment reporting aligns with the Group’s divisional structure. SOLIDS (previously referred to as Cleanaway) Core Business

Collections Commercial and industrial (“C&I”), municipal and residential collection services for all types of solid waste streams, including general waste, recyclables, construction and demolition waste and medical and washroom services as well as resource recovery and recycling facilities, commodities trading and secure product destruction and quarantine treatment operations. Post Collections Ownership and management of waste transfer stations and landfills.

Financial Metrics

Total revenue for the Solids segment increased by 16.3% to $541.6 million. Underlying EBITDA increased by 22.1% to $117.5 million. The Collections business reported both increased external revenues and earnings for the period. External revenue increased by 2.4% and EBITDA by 1.0% compared to the previous corresponding period. The Post Collections business reported both increased external revenues and earnings for the period. External Revenue increased 86.1% and EBITDA 90.4% compared to the previous corresponding period.

Performance

Collections Overall volumes have increased compared to the previous corresponding period. The Growth initiatives which are being implemented across the business have increased revenues during the half-year period. Post Collections The Melbourne Regional Landfill was the major driver of the increased revenues and earnings for the business and continues to perform in line with expectations. Landfill disposal volumes remain strong across the country particularly in New South Wales and Queensland.

CLEANAWAY WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED 3

Directors’ Report (continued) Segment Overview (continued) LIQUIDS AND INDUSTRIAL SERVICES (previously referred to as Industrials Australia) Core Business

Liquids and Industrial Services is a leading operator in the areas of: 



Liquids & Hazardous Waste – collection, treatment, processing, refining and recycling of liquid and hazardous waste, including hydrocarbons, for disposal or re-sale. Industrial Services – services include liquids cleaning, vacuum tanker loading, site remediation, sludge management, concrete remediation, CCTV, corrosion protection and emergency response services.

Financial Metrics

Total revenue decreased by 8.5% to $224.5 million, as a result of continued weak market conditions and low oil prices. Underlying EBITDA decreased by 15.7% from $31.8 million to $26.8 million.

Performance

Liquid volumes, particularly in the hazardous liquids area, declined and continue to reflect weakness in the industrial and manufacturing sectors of the Australian economy. Non-hazardous liquid volumes and prices were in line with those recorded last year. Waste oil collection volumes increased during the period, however selling prices of both base and fuel oil were down significantly compared to the previous corresponding period due to the decline in global oil prices. The Industrial Services segment was flat as activity in the mining and resource processing sectors remain soft on the back of lower commodity prices.

CORPORATE Core Business

Corporate provides a range of shared services functions that are not directly attributable to other identified segments. These functions include management, finance, legal, information technology, marketing and human resources that provide support to the other segments.

Financial Metrics

Underlying corporate costs not recharged to the operating segments were $7.5 million (2014: $6.8 million).

The use of the term ‘Statutory’ refers to IFRS financial information and ‘Underlying’ refers to non-IFRS financial information. Underlying earnings are categorised as non-IFRS financial information and therefore have been presented in compliance with ASIC Regulatory Guide 230 – Disclosing non-IFRS information. Underlying adjustments have been considered in relation to their size and nature and have been adjusted from the Statutory information, for disclosure purposes, to assist readers to better understand the financial performance of the underlying business in each reporting period. These adjustments include transactions or costs that on their own or in combination with a number of similar transactions contribute to more than five percent of profit/(loss) after tax. Underlying adjustments are assessed on a consistent basis year-on-year and include both favourable and unfavourable items. The exclusion of these items provides a result which, in the Directors’ view, more closely reflects the ongoing operations of the Group.

Details of adjustments from Statutory to Underlying financial information are set out on page 6.

3

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income tax, and depreciation and amortisation.

4

EBIT represents earnings before interest and income tax.

CLEANAWAY WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED 6

Directors’ Report (continued) Significant Changes in the State of Affairs Other than matters mentioned in this Report, no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group occurred since the commencement of the half-year under review.

Environmental Regulation The Group’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulation and the Group holds environmental licences for its sites. The Group is committed to achieving the highest standards of environmental performance. There were no material breaches of environmental statutory requirements and no material prosecutions during the half-year under review. The Group is registered under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act, under which it is required to report energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for its Australian facilities.

Subsequent Events On 5 January 2016 the maturity dates of certain financing facilities under the Syndicated Facility Agreement were extended by one year resulting in revised maturity dates of 1 July 2019 for Facility B ($130.0 million) and 1 July 2020 for Facility C ($335.0 million). This extension has no impact on the Financial Report as utilised amounts under both these facilities were already classified as non-current borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at 31 December 2015. Other than the matter noted above, there have been no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the half-year that have significantly affected the Group’s operations.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 8. Signed this 19th day of February 2016 in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

The half-year report does not include all notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report. It is also recommended that the half-year report be considered together with any public announcements made by the Group during the half-year ended 31 December 2015 in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001. Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of non landfill land and buildings and certain financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2015, except for the impact of new and revised standards noted below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards. Comparative Information The classification of certain balance sheet items has been modified to better reflect the underlying nature of the items. Comparative amounts have been restated accordingly for consistency. The comparative balance sheet has also been restated for the impact of the final adjustments to the purchase price allocation for Melbourne Regional Landfill. Refer note 9 for further detail. In order to present comparable segment information, the prior period segment note has been restated to reflect a revised inter-segment sales split. Refer note 2 for further detail. New and Revised Standards The Group has adopted all new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period. New and revised Standards, amendments thereof and Interpretations effective for the current half-year and relevant to the Group are limited to AASB 2015-3 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Withdrawal of AASB 1031 Materiality’.

2. Segment Reporting The Group has identified its operating segments on the basis of how the Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews internal reports about components of the Group in order to assess the performance and allocation of resources to a particular segment. Information reported to the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (Chief Operating Decision Maker) for the purpose of performance assessment and resource allocation is specifically focused on the following segments: 

Solids Comprises the collection, treatment, recycle and disposal of all types of solid waste streams, including general waste, recyclables, construction and demolition waste and medical and washroom services. Solids owns and manages waste transfer stations, resource recovery and recycling facilities, secure product destruction, quarantine treatment operations and landfills and participates in commodities trading of recovered paper, cardboard, metals and plastics to the domestic and international marketplace.



Liquids and Industrial Services Comprises the collection, treatment, processing and recycling of liquid and hazardous waste, including industrial waste, grease trap waste, oily waters and used mineral and cooking oils in packaged and bulk forms for resale, disposal and to produce fuel oils and base oils, as well as services including industrial cleaning, vacuum tanker loading, site remediation, sludge management, parts washing, concrete remediation, CCTV, corrosion protection and emergency response services.



Associates Represents the Group’s share of profits from equity accounted investments.



Corporate Shared services functions that are not directly attributable to an identifiable segment. These functions include management, finance, legal, information technology, marketing, and human resources that provide support to the other segments identified above.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one period. The Group has the following allocation policies:  Sales between segments are on normal commercial terms; and  Corporate charges are allocated where possible based on estimated usage of Corporate resources. Segment assets and liabilities have not been disclosed as these are not provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker. This information is provided at a Group level only. Finance income and expenses and fair value gains and losses on financial assets are not allocated to individual segments as the underlying instruments are managed on a group basis. Current taxes, deferred taxes and certain financial assets and liabilities are not allocated to those segments as they are also managed on a group basis. Inter-segment revenues are eliminated on consolidation.

The corresponding elimination to present Group revenue decreased from $86.6 million to $22.8 million. This restatement is due to the elimination of ‘intra-segment’ sales of $63.8 million where sales occur within the respective segments and is consistent with the current period presentation.

Impairment of Assets

Intangible assets mainly comprise goodwill, landfill airspace assets, customer contracts and brand names. Intangibles are monitored at an operating segment level for the Solids business and at a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) level for the Liquids & Industrial Services business. Impairment review and testing In accordance with the Group’s accounting policies, the Group performs its goodwill impairment testing annually at 30 June. Goodwill and other non-current assets are however reviewed at each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. Where an indicator of impairment exists, a formal review is undertaken to estimate the recoverable amount of related assets. The Group’s market capitalisation relative to its net assets represents a potential indicator of impairment. As a result, formal impairment testing was undertaken. Results of Testing Based on the impairment testing performed, the recoverable amount of each CGU exceeded the carrying amounts at 31 December 2015. The results of the impairment testing is summarised in the table below: Half-year ended 31 Dec 2015 $’M

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

Total Impairment



77.5

Impairment in the prior period related to the Hydrocarbons CGU (within the Liquids & Industrial Services operating segment). The CGU was experiencing increased collection costs and low sales price indices for fuel and base oils, which led to a significant decline in results for the Hydrocarbon business. Despite continued price weakness and volatility during the period, there is no need for further impairment at 31 December 2015, particularly given the benefits of the Cost Reduction Program and associated capital spend management referred to below. Key Assumptions Used for Impairment Testing The terminal growth and discount rate assumptions used in the 30 June 2015 impairment testing were reviewed and have been determined to remain valid for the 31 December 2015 testing. Forecast revenue, EBITDA and capital spend assumptions used in the 30 June 2015 impairment testing have been adjusted for known and anticipated future operational changes and additional potential risk identified since 30 June 2015. These changes are reflected in the summary of key assumptions table and discussed in more detail below. Following these adjustments to key assumptions the recoverable amount of each CGU continues to exceed the carrying amounts at 31 December 2015.

The Melbourne Regional Landfill (“MRL”), acquired on 28 February 2015, has now been fully transitioned into the existing business and is therefore not separately identified.

(2)

Growth rates have been calculated with 30 June 2015 revenue and results as base.

(3)

Reflects capital spend as a percentage of revenue.

Changes in revenue growth assumptions Forecast revenue growth has been tempered down given significant organisational changes since August 2015. Changes include the commencement of the Cost Reduction Program during the period (announced to the market on 30 October 2015) which has impacted all activities of the Group and has been a high priority of management. In addition there has been a reduction in planned future capital spend accompanied by a new operating model for the business. Management however remains committed to these strategic growth initiatives which are currently delivering in line with expectation. Changes in EBITDA growth assumptions Changes in EBITDA growth are primarily the result of changes in the revenue growth assumptions outlined above, together with the anticipated benefits of the Cost Reduction Program. The Liquid & Hazardous Waste CGU reflects an increase in the EBITDA growth from 30 June 2015 as this CGU has been the key focus of the Cost Reduction Program within the Liquids & Industrial Services operating segment. The Cost Reduction Program implemented during the period is forecast to deliver cash flow savings in excess of those anticipated in the cost savings included in the 30 June 2015 impairment testing and controls are in place to ensure that costs remain at these lower levels. Changes in capital spend assumptions Capital spend forecasted at 30 June 2015 was recalibrated to a spend rate which is more consistent with industry benchmarks and also reflects the increased focus on managing capital spend as part of the overall Cost Reduction Program.

6. Impairment of Assets (continued) Impact of Possible Changes in Key Assumptions Whilst there was no impairment in the operating segment or CGUs, any variation in the key assumptions would result in a change in the estimated recoverable amount.

A comprehensive review of the tax implications of the transaction resulted in a change in the provisional tax position adopted. As a result, the deferred tax liability has decreased by $30.8 million with a consequential reduction in goodwill.

10. Share-Based Payments During the period, the Group issued Performance Rights attached to the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTI) to the CEO. The performance rights will vest in two equal tranches if the following performance hurdles, tested independently, are met:  Tranche 1 – Up to 50% of the Performance Rights vest if a certain TSR ranking is achieved within the S&P/ASX 200 Liquids and Industrial Services Sector Index (excluding companies involved in resources or mining).  Tranche 2 – Up to 50% of Performance Rights vest if certain Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) targets are achieved. Details of the specific performance targets was tabled at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 October 2015. Performance Rights granted during the period were fair valued by an external party using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The following table sets out the assumptions made in determining the fair value of these Performance Rights: Scheme

11. Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value All financial assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are classed within the fair value hierarchy on the basis of nature, characteristics and risks and described as follows and based on the lower level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using prices in active markets. Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset of liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. For financial assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Derivative Financial instruments The Group enters into interest rate swaps and currency rate swaps with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. These derivatives are valued using techniques with market observable inputs. The valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies and currency basis spreads between the respective currencies. The changes in counterparty credit risk and the Group’s own non-performance risk did not have a material effect on fair value. The carrying value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value. The value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value are summarised in the tables below:

13. Subsequent Events On 5 January 2016 the maturity dates of certain financing facilities under the Syndicated Facility Agreement were extended by one year resulting in revised maturity dates of 1 July 2019 for Facility B ($130.0 million) and 1 July 2020 for Facility C ($335.0 million). This extension has no impact on the Financial Report as utilised amounts under both these facilities were already classified as non-current borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at 31 December 2015. Other than the matter noted above, there have been no other matters or circumstances that have arisen since the halfyear that have significantly affected the Group’s operations.

To the members of Cleanaway Waste Management Limited (formerly Transpacific Industries Group Ltd)

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Cleanaway Waste Management Limited, which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Cleanaway Waste Management Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report. A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.
